Week 2. Vegetation

The babies are growing much faster than expected, they are only 16 days old and I'm in the middle of transplanting them. Two have been transplanted so far. Working on setting up another room since my flower room is FULL! I added a couple pics of what is going on there, finishing up a total of 19 plants in that room. Again, I have 5 granddaddy purples, 6 purple kush and 5 purple haze in this new grow. The ones in the red cups are "Unknowns" but I loved the mother plant so much I had to get a few of her offspring. Wish there was a way to id what she was. Anyone know a resource to find out? Very impressed with ILGM's seeds and I will update the photos once they are all transplanted and under their new area sometime tomorrow afternoon. It also looks like I will be able to top them very soon if they keep growing like this! I always top at least once with photos and use lst to spread them out. I want to experiment more with manifolding which I had great success with 2 grows ago.

Adding a few more comments on Day 26. Topping is done for all but three plants, have started LST on a few plants. Gnats are almost all gone (those traps work so well). The purple color is really coming out in the stalks. Still no need for nutrients. PH is excellent, All 16 plants are growing as they should. Starting week 3 tomorrow. All is growing nicely. 16 transplanted over. I will be topping sometime this week and will post pictures afterwards. I wanted to give them a couple of days after transplanting before doing it. Zero transplant shock issues and they are growing at a very fast rate. No need for any nutrients at this point. I still am setting up another LED panel to get the 5 out from under the florescent lighting. As I've mentioned previously my grow room is filled and still has another week or so to go to harvest before deep cleaning and this new batch can go in.

Added on Day 31. Finished cleaning out the flower room from my previous harvest and moved the purple girls in. I do a thorough scrub down after every grow and it's pain in the butt but a necessary evil. Will probably start flowering in another week. They are growing wonderfully! Day 28 Beginning of week four. Starting to add a bit of nutrients, not too much. 1 tblsp per gallon of water of "Grow Big". Gave each plant just a tiny bit. Topping has been done on most (12 out of the 16 plants) . A bit of early lst training on a couple of the larger babies. Really noticing the purple in the stalks especially on the Purple Haze and Purple Kush in this batch of seeds. Also while I've grown this particular combo previously the Granddaddy Purples were the queens of the grow. Surprisingly it is the Purple Kush plants which are growing the fastest this time around and usually they are the ones who are more finicky. All progressing well except for a gnat problem which I was able to get under control quickly. I also started 7 LSD seeds but I'll do a separate grow page for them. I mention them since they may show up from time to time.

Feb 18..... added a few more photos all is going great. End of week 2 of 12/12 switch. Little budlets everywhere now. Isn't this always a thrilling sight to see that first little bud start? Gets me every time. Defoliated last week and it doesn't even look like it! Constantly tying down. Still giving grow big and tiger bloom. Will be weaning them off the grow big this week and up the tiger. Grow is going very well. ALSO, started LSD's and Godfather OG's today and will start a separate diary for them.

Everything is going very well, 3 weeks since I flipped to 12/12 and they have just about finished their stretch. Flipped on the night of the 1st of February Buds are coming in fast and furious. I also thought I'd throw in a couple pics of my light set up. I have three King LED 2000w but it was hard to back out and show the third. I absolutely LOVE these lights even more than my MH! Also have some "spot" LED strips for the uncovered areas which is rotated daily with the ones under the king led's. A note about the guy standing in the corner; each week I have him stand in that same spot to show how much they have grown. I'm pretty sure I took a picture of each of the 16 plants. Granddaddy Purples are blooming the fastest and stacking quickly followed by the Purple Haze and Purple Kush is blooming last. They are drinking a LOT now. Using tiger bloom 3 tsp per gallon every other watering. Humidity is around 55 percent but keeping an eye on it due to the evaporation it goes much higher I'll flip on the dehumidifier.

March 3: Added a few pics. All is growing right on target! Buds are starting to stack and I absolutely love the smell coming out of the flower room. These next 3-4 weeks are my favorite 😊 March 1: Four weeks since light switchover to 12/12. Technically I call this end of week 2 of flowering since I don't count pre-flower. Managed to get a video although the quality isn't what I would like. Grow is going very well. I kept 4 plants that I didn't top as an experiment this grow since I always top and have never let them go au natural :-) Last time I do that though. Feeding big bloom at a rate of 3 tsp per gallon every other watering. Going to add some bloom boost this upcoming week. I'm quite happy all in all with how this particular grow is going. Humidity got a bit high this week 60 and I immediately took steps to remedy this. Now humidity is around 50. Don't want dreaded bud rot! I'll add some additional pictures this week in the meantime enjoy the video and beware of dog near the end :-D

What can I say? Everything is growing right on schedule. Beginning of 6th week of flowering. Purple Haze are taking their sweet time but Haze's generally do (in my experience anyway). The Purple Haze plants have a good 5-6 weeks to go. The Purple Kush's and Granddaddy Purples are stacking nicely and the purple color is starting to come out. Trichome production has kicked in and the smell is getting strong with lovely frosting coming in. These upcoming two weeks is when they are going to start to really put on the weight so I will be staking this week. IF they keep going the way they have been looking at another 3-4 weeks but it's always so hard to judge. The ladies will do their thing when they want to and I will just have to wait. I upped the bloom boost slowly to max while checking for any nutrient burn the past couple weeks. None seen so far but I don't want to push it any higher than I already am and will be keeping a close eye out for any warning signs. . Adding a few pics of the girls and you will definitely see the difference between how slow the haze is stacking compared to the rest.

I'll be harvesting 10 of my 16 ladies in two days. Tricomes have turned mostly all cloudy and it is time. The Purple Haze plants still need a couple of weeks but the GDP and Purple Kush are ready!
